Momma and Chick (1 of 1) - a photo on Flickriver

            As chicks grow into adults their parents tend to leave them more and more alone, in the end just dropping off food once in a while.  Owls in general, at least the few species I've been lucky enough to observe, tend to show
more affectionate bonding.  I've seen it with Barred Owls, like the ones in this picture, Burrowing and Great Horned as well.  To my eye the young one just can't wait for Momma to come home, even if she'd not carrying food. Sometimes affection is sustenance enough.  (Strix varia)
